Right... lets just forget about Emily. We know there won't be any damage or casualties in Hispaniola because, well, nobody lives there!

Emily is done for. CASE CLOSED.

The models are wacked. It's lifting towards the islands.


I'm shocked GFDL keeps it below hurricane when it normally spins everything up to 180mph...

Yeah, I was surprised too, considering they had it over 120 kts earlier today. Normally, GFDL would turn the steam over my coffee into at least a Cat 3.

My geography is not very good.

Can someone please tell me where Hispaniola is exactly? Thank you.

I would like to see the 06Z models for real. Maybe they will have the center relocation to the north taken into account. I dont really expect such a drastic change in the next run but it will be a bit interesting to see what they come up with.

Well, according to what cycloneye posted in http://www.storm2k.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=67618, at least some of the models were initialized at the higher latitude.

The 00z suite was initialized at 11.2N. The 11PM advisory was for 11.3N. Pretty close...

hurricanes usually find a way to avoid going over islands for too long. I think this one will not be any different.

If the NHC track is just a tad too far south it misses Hispanola to the north after going directly over Puerto Rico(PR isn't going to weaken storms more than 5-10 mph), especially with this going to be moving at near 15 mph...

Well, I don't know about that. Jeanne was all but dead after her trip through Haiti -- stayed there much longer than anyone figured she would. In fact, most people here wrote her off.

Debby couldn't find her way off the islands and died after being forecast to go into Miami as a Cat 2.

Those models are way too clustered and in the 11pm advisory you can tell the NHC was very surprised how close the models were...I predict this storm will move very close to this guidance.
